Sick of Being Late

I have to carpool to get to school everyday. The only problem is that they are always late. All through my junior high and high school life I have been late because of the many people who took me to school. Personally I hate being late. It just stresses me out. I think I got it from my mom because she's the same way. I usually don't have much of a problem if it's just a few minutes but when isn't a whole 30 minutes or more I think that's a problem. Lately I have been calling my carpool almost every morning to see where she is and if she's on her way but every time I call I wake her up. Personally I think her daughter is old enough to set her own alarm clock and wake herself up and if she sees her mother isn't up then she should do something. I have missed two classes last week and I missed my first class again today. I feel bad having to call my mom at work asking her to pick me up when she wouldn't have to if my carpool got things worked out at their home. I hope that this summer I get my license. If I get it I won't have to worry about these things. The only problem is that I really hate driving.

Reading More

For school we have a certain amount of pages to read and if we don't then it of course effect our grade. For awhile I have found it hard to do this. I could never reach the 600 pages needed. I even have interesting books that I read but it still wouldn't motivate me. If I wanted to meet the requirement it would require reading outside of school which is the last thing I wanted to be doing.Now I have been trying to get my prioreties straight and work hard. I found out that if I make myself read more I eventually get used to it and then want to read. It also has been helping me read faster for other subjects. In 2010 I made a New Year's resolution to read more. It started out great and I did read more that year than I have in past year's but I still think I could have done better. Right now I have been looking forward to getting a Mike Dellosso book. It is called Frantic. I'm hopeing to get it for my upcoming birthday. I was reading Darkness Follows when a preveiw of the book was in the back of the book to read and for the first time a book actually scared me.

Green Coke

So last night my friend and I went went to get something to eat after youth group. We usually stay late at the church with one of our other friends and wait for her dad to come pick her up. It was around 9:00p.m. when we finally decided to leave. We wanted to eat at Subway but they were already starting to clean up so we left. After that we thought Chick-a-fila sounded good but too were closing up soon. I guess trying to find a place to eat so late wasn't a good idea. We finally just decided to deal with Sonics food. The last time I ate their food it was really terrible so I was a little hesitant to eat their chicken but I still ate it anyways.It was actually really good. I also ordered a Coke with Blue Coconut flavoring. It was so amazing! When you first drink it you can kinda taste the coconut but then the after taste really tastes like coconut. The blue flavoring made my drink green. I had a really nice time and I hope to go there again soon.

Nothing Interesting

Nothing really interesting has really been happening this week. Although on Monday my triangle pillow came in the mail! I got home from school and walked up the stairs into my kitchen when I saw the box on the counter. At first I was thinking that it was my pillow. Then I thought it was something else because within the time I was waiting for it 3 packages came to the house and none of them were my pillow. I looked at the box and it had the Throwboy label on it so I knew it was mine.I was so happy and excited that I nearly stabbed myself trying to get the box open. I was confused when I opened it because there was two pillows. The Throwboy Team gave me an extra pillow because of the delay. The pillows are super soft because they are made out of fleece. It looks nice being displayed on my bed because there are black triangles on the pillow that match my comforter. In the package there was also a pin. I put it on my school bag along with my other pins. I love pins even though they have a tendency to fall off.

Serve-A-Thon

So today my school is going to be doing a Serve-a-thon.We will go out to different places and lend our services to raise money for the school. I forgot to sign up for a certain spot so I have no clue what I will be doing today.I am hoping that I will get to go paint with my friend Lexi at the Salvation Army.I have always wanted to paint walls. Once my mom and I painted a room in my aunt's house.I really wanted to help paint the walls but it didn't happen. Instead I painted a table which was fun. For awhile I have been wanting to paint my room. My room is pretty small so the color I want won't go over so well with my guardians.I really want a dark purple. A long time ago my uncle had a girlfriend and her walls were dark purple and for some reason I just loved it.The weird thing is that I still want it after at least 10 years. Well at the end of the serve-a-thon my whole school will be going to Incredible Pizza.I don't really want to go but I don't really have a choice.Maybe it will be fun.

Everything

So I just got back from youth group and I'm really tired. We have been working on a human video for our teen service this Sunday morning.Every once and awhile the teenagers run the morning service and put ther own spin on it. I absolutley love doing human videos!I don't have to talk or sing which is good for me. I feel so great when I get to glorify God through my skills. I know that I have touched lives by doing these human videos.I always jump at the opportunity to be a part of them. I am also quite worn out from danceing at school. The girls are working on a routine for the spring program.I am so proud of it because I got to contribute to it. I can't wait to show everyone and do it for God. The other thing we are working on for the spring program is another human video which unfortunateley I am not as pumped about. For some reason I can't get into the feeling of it.Hopefully that will change soon.
